Would welding or soldering on the skeg guard avoid the problem of losing strength or is it a question of steel being a much harder material than aluminium making it less effective at absorbing hits and making it snap off instead of denting?

I have a spool gun would you have any objections to me welding one up with that? This particular damage is done on the front side of the skeg.

What’s your business name? I’m in the Hattiesburg area and I’m going to need a new one welded on myself.

Why does Mercury not recommend welding skegs on the torquemaster?
